Does the system have some kind of premonition?

Could you foresee an unexpected event that would prevent you from getting home?

Don't overthink it; this is just a friendly reminder. Whether you do it or not is up to you.

As he was lost in thought, the system in his mind coldly corrected him.

Upon hearing this, Lai's initial unease gradually dissipated.

Although the system doesn't play by the rules, what it says is believable, after all, her fate is closely linked to hers, and no one can survive without her.

Moreover, even if something unexpected happens, the master-level Jeet Kune Do skills he possesses are no joke, just like a classic movie scene from his previous life.

I'm going to take on ten of them! Ten of them!

Jeet Kune Do, Lai, nice to meet you!

After indulging in a fantasy of being a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer, Lai happily scurried back into the kitchen and took out the ingredients for dinner from the refrigerator.

After another half hour of work, the three dishes, one soup, and rice for dinner were all finished. Then, the dinner was put in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and prevent it from spoiling by evening.

After putting the last papaya and carp soup into the refrigerator, he called out to the second floor.

"Sora, get up and have breakfast..."

Not long after, the sounds of Kasugano Sora sleeping soundly and lingering in bed could be heard from the second floor.

"No, you eat first, so you can go to school. I'm so sleepy, so sleepy, I can't get up."

Upon hearing this, Lai's lips twitched, wondering how late this girl had been messing with him last night.

Thinking of this, she touched her chest through her clothes with her right hand, recalling the scene she saw in the washroom that morning, and her earlobes turned red involuntarily.

......

Kanagawa Main Tram Station.

Lai stood at the bustling station entrance, wearing a mask and hat.

The male and female passengers entering the station all looked up at his tall and straight figure, their eyes filled with envy.

He's so tall! It's a pity I can't see his face, but his demeanor and appearance suggest he's a very handsome man. Even if he isn't, his height is definitely a plus.

People in this world are generally not very tall, and in their eyes, Lai was almost a small giant.

Lai ignored the passengers' stares, silently took out his phone from his pocket to check the time, and thought to himself, "It's almost ten o'clock, and the pork belly still hasn't arrived. Is she going to stand me up?"

Just then, a light patting sound came from my shoulder.

Lai turned his head and froze on the spot, unable to look away.

The person who arrived was Mai Sakurajima, and her attire was both innocent and sexy.

The grey and white plaid shirt on her upper body added a touch of innocence and charm, while the purple pencil skirt and black stockings on her lower body made her look sexy.

The pair of zippered thigh-high heels paired with black stockings exuded an indescribable sexy allure.

She carried a white Chanel bag on her right arm, looking every bit the sophisticated urban woman.

Seeing him staring intently at her, Mai Sakurajima felt a surge of pride.

She spent several hours getting ready to wear this outfit.

But thankfully, hard work pays off, and his amazed reaction shows just how effective it was.

Lai disconnected, glanced at her own black rabbit short-sleeved t-shirt, then at Sakurajima Mai's long-sleeved plaid shirt, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you hot?"

Mai Sakurajima's face immediately turned ashen, as if she had eaten shit.

Annoyed, he walked past him and entered the station without saying a word.

If he doesn't leave soon, I'm going to lose control and beat him up; he's ruined my good mood.

Who would ask such a blatantly naive question? A simple compliment like "you look good" won't hurt you!

Lai scratched the back of his head in confusion, not understanding why she had such a strong reaction.

Did I say something wrong?

No, April is summer. I was just asking her if it was hot because I wanted to help her.

"Are you coming or not!?"

Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, scratching the back of his head, Mai Sakurajima in the station couldn't contain her good temper and shouted loudly.

Lai was so frightened that he stopped what he was doing and hurriedly entered the station, his intuition telling him that if he didn't go in soon, he might die.

.......

On the train to Kamakura.

The two sat quietly on the public benches of the tram, neither of them speaking first, listening silently to the unique "rumbling" sound of the tram.

During the silence, Mai Sakurajima unbuttoned her bag and took out a small red snack box with the words "Pocky Sticks" printed on it.

"Want some?" Mai Sakurajima offered it to the boy standing beside her, who was dazed with his arms crossed.

Lai looked up and saw that they were snacks, so she shook her head and refused, saying, "You eat them, I don't really like snacks."

Seeing this, Mai Sakurajima said nothing more and silently took out a chocolate-colored fun stick from inside and slowly savored it.

While taking small, light bites of the fun stick, she casually asked, "Lai, are we on a date now? Like a date between couples?"

Lai turned to look at her delicate face, and seeing that she didn't react, he shook his head and said gently, "No, we're just friends, friends who talk to each other, we have absolutely nothing to do with being lovers!"

Sakurajima Mai continued silently chewing on her fun stick: "Didn't you ever imagine that we were on our way to a date?"

"No." Lai shook his head, his eyes looking at Sakurajima Mai, and asked suspiciously, "You didn't develop feelings for me when you were feeling helpless, did you? And then you gradually fell in love with me without realizing it?"

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima instantly lost her nonchalant expression, her face flushed as she retorted bluntly, "Who would like a straight man like you, a jerk, a pervert, a scumbag!!!"

Hearing that he had such a bad impression of her, Lai breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that she might develop feelings for him when she was isolated and helpless.

As she spoke, Mai Sakurajima blushed and turned her head away, silently biting her fun stick, while her heart was pounding faster and faster.

He guessed right; she really couldn't help but develop feelings for him—a little bit of affection, but not quite love.

When he contracted a strange illness and no one saw him, only he silently offered his help. Even when he was forcibly brought to Kamakura, he didn't say anything and simply stayed by his side.

Thinking of this, Mai Sakurajima blushed and turned back, glancing subtly at Lai, who was sitting with his arms crossed, and thought to herself, "If you didn't have so many suitors, maybe...maybe I would give you a chance to pursue me..."

Lai crossed his arms and idly watched the fleeting scenery outside the car window.

Feeling the girl beside him glancing at him every now and then, he looked up in confusion.

Suddenly, the two of them looked at each other with wide eyes and could see another version of themselves reflected in each other's pupils.

After looking at it for a moment, Lai winked at him, indicating what he was looking at.

Sakurajima Mai blushed and turned her head away, pretending to be nonchalant as she ate her Pocky stick.

Thinking of her shy appearance, Lai felt a surge of malice rising within him.

"Pork belly, are you blushing?"

Sakurajima Mai shuddered, her face flushed red as she turned back to retort, "Nonsense! You're the one who's blushing, I'm so hot!"

As she spoke, she raised her delicate hand to fan her face, indicating that she was very hot.

Lai smiled, pointed to the small air conditioning hole on the upper part of the tram, and teased, "Isn't there air conditioning on the tram? Why are you still hot?"

"Mind your own business! I said it's hot, and it's hot!"

Sakurajima Mai ignored his teasing and unleashed her girlish charm by being unreasonable.

Seeing her pretentious and unreasonable manner, Lai became playful and intentionally or unintentionally leaned close to her fair ear.

The moment she got close, Mai Sakurajima felt a sudden tremor run through her body.

He looked flustered, and the fun stick he was eating in his hand was so startled that he dropped it onto the tram floor.

Seeing her flustered expression, Lai nodded with satisfaction and teased, "Pork belly, your face is red because it's hot, isn't it?"

"Although I was looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, I saw everything you did and knew that you were secretly looking at me from time to time."

"Tell me, are you blushing because of me?"

Are you imagining things about me, and are the things you're imagining really that big?

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima hurriedly pushed him away, her face turning even redder, resembling the color of a rosy sunset.

Feeling the warm breath lingering by my ear, my whole body felt weak and powerless, and I leaned back in the chair as if I were paralyzed.

Lai saw that the effect was as he had imagined, and chuckled with satisfaction.

Then, she quietly crossed her arms and continued to sit in the chair, watching the fleeting beauty outside the window.

He was satisfied, but Mai Sakurajima beside him was not.

Flirting and then running away? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

She wanted revenge, revenge in the same way she had just done, she wanted him to taste what cruelty and pain were!

After a moment's thought, she put down the Pocky stick box in her hand, took a deep breath to cheer herself up, and then slowly leaned close to his fair ear.

Lai moved to her left in surprise, her dark eyes glaring at the blushing, shy Sakurajima Mai, and asked warily, "What do you want to do?"

Sakurajima Mai blushed and smiled, her eyes teasing, "What do you think? Weren't you very brave just now? Why are you reacting so strongly as soon as I get close?"

Lai immediately understood her meaning; she wanted to retaliate in kind. He smiled wryly and said, "Senior, it's all a misunderstanding. I was just bored on the bus and couldn't help but joke with you."

"You are a magnanimous person, please spare me."

"Misunderstanding? I'll forgive you?" Mai Sakurajima said with a smile.

Lai nodded like a woodpecker and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?!" Sakurajima Mai glared at him, slammed her left hand on the public chair, and said angrily, "Move back here, senpai wants you to experience what you just felt."

Upon hearing this, Lai panicked and kept moving to the right, trying to escape.

Mai Sakurajima quickly grabbed his clothes to stop him from escaping, and roughly pulled him back with her delicate hands.

Afraid that he would escape again, she directly lifted her long, black-stockinged leg and hooked it onto her mother's leg.

Lai looked bitterly at the long, black-stockinged legs in front of her, wanting to escape but unable to.
